Pakistani Woman Imprisoned in India and her Little Girl!

In Pakistan Edhi sahb protected deaf-dumb Hindu Indian girl Geeta as his own daughter

Geeta
was only 11 years old when she mistakenly crossed border and arrived into
Pakistan. She was deaf and dumb by birth due to which she was unable to tell
about her identity and citizenship. She was taken by Pakistani soldiers on
border patrol. They tried their best to know about her; however, when they
could not succeed they handed her over to an
NGO for Missing children. From there she was handed over to the Edhi
Homes Karachi. Wife of Abdul Sattar Edhi realized from her activities that she
is Hindu; so she cared her as a Hindu. Edhi (late) took her himself to the
temple (Mandir) so that she may perform her rituals. On the occasions of
celebrations of Hinduism she was given new dresses and other things as Hindus
do; however, despite of all this Edhi remained concerned that how he may return
Geeta to her parents.

In
2011, Edhi contacted Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad. Indian High
Commissioner visited Edhi Homes Karachi, met with Geeta, took her pictures and
sent to India so that her parents may be traced out. In this situation,
Pakistan govt. provided full support to Indian High Commissioner so that the
deaf and dumb girl may be returned to her parents. Although after meeting Geeta
Indian High Commissioner was sure that Geeta is a Hindu Indian girl but despite
of all this Indian Foreign Ministry remained reluctant in taking Geeta back to India.
However, on the pressure of Indian media after four years Indian govt. accepted
to take her back while she had turned 20 years old.

On
26th October 2015, when Mrs. Edhi arrived New Delhi along with
Geeta, whole India was celebrating it. Indian Prime Minister also met with Mrs.
Edhi and offered her cheque bearing one hundred million Indian Rupees for Edhi
Foundation which was returned by Mrs. Edhi that this happiness is enough for
her that Geeta has returned to her homeland. Afterwards, Indian Prime Minister
called his counterpart Mr. Nawaz Sharif and thanked for the cooperation. Despite
of tensions between both countries, Indian PM was forced to call Pakistani PM
because due to the cooperation extended by Pakistan and reluctance of India this
issue has been highlighted on international level. Pakistani wanted to resolve
this issue as soon as possible on the basis of humanity.

On
the other hand when any daughter of Pakistan is wrongfully confined in India neither
Indian human rights organizations nor Pakistani organization for human and
women’s rights raise their voice. Even those NGOs who remain no stone unturned
in favor of Indian terrorists sentenced by Pakistani courts they have only one
stance that they want to minimize tension between both countries by releasing Indian
terrorists; even they are silent now. Due to such like activities of such NGOs
few years ago Kashmir Singh, Gopaal Daas and Sarjeet Singh (Indian Intelligence
operators and terrorists) were released from Pakistani prisons despite of the
fact that they were responsible for murder of hundreds of innocent Pakistanis
through terrorist activities. Even Justice from Indian Supreme Court wrote
letter for release of Gopaal Daas. But for the Pakistani woman and her innocent
baby girl imprisoned in Indian Prison, Indian Supreme Court is dead silent and
unable to take any action.

Indian Prime Minister had pledged to donate 10 million Indian rupees to Edhi foundation, that Mrs Bilquis Edhi refuse to accept.

The
news about Pakistani woman Robina imprisoned in Indian Prison at Indian Held
Kashmir for last four years along with her baby girl came to the light when a
lawyer Shafqat Hussein from Indian Held Kashmir informed media about her.
Shafqat Hussein met Robina first time in 2012, when she was being transferred
to Kot Bhalwal Prison in IHK. Robina told him that she is Pakistani citizen from
Hyderabad who visited New Delhi for treatment of Asthama along with her
husband. Suddenly, her husband went missing in New Delhi, her passport and
other documents were also in his possession.

With
help of people she succeeded in reaching Wahga border but as she did not have
her passport and other documents so she was arrested by Indian Police. Mir Shafqat
Hussein, Lawyer from Indian Held Kashmir presented all the evidence in the
court but due to the complexities in the court procedure, after such a long
time Indian Held Kashmir High Court ordered release of Robina and her little
girl to be released and handed over to Pakistan. When these news came to
Pakistan, Chauhdary Nisar, Interior Minister of Pakistan ordered NADRA Pakistan
to collect information about Robina so that her nationality as Pakistani may be
confirmed and she may be brought back to Pakistan.

ISLAMABAD Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar took notice of a Pakistani women and her daughter languishing in Indian jails since 2012.

Indian
govt. is not providing any support in this regard. According, to the lawyer of
Robina, if Indian govt. creates any hurdle in her release than he will have to
file the contempt of court. The statement of the lawyer, it seems that India is
not ready to release her. Another, important question is that where is the
husband of Robina? Has he himself gone missing in New Delhi or taken by Indian Secret
Agencies?

Such
like incidents are nothing strange in India. Before this Imran Yousaf Chipa and his wife Sofia Kanwal were
kidnapped to India from Katmandu Capital of Nepal by Indian Secret agencies. There
they were imprisoned under the allegations of entering into India for terrorism
while they went to Kathmandu for Honey Moon. They were inhumanly tortured and
asked that confess in front of media that they are agents of ISI and entered
into India to kill Narindra Modi than they will be spared. However, due to the
struggle of their relatives and Human Rights Commission in India they were
ordered to be released by Indian court due to non availability of evidence
against them.
